1. Preserving Travel Experiences ? Digital cameras are nice and all, but you need a long term memento from your trip. When it comes to preserving travel experiences, take a writing journal. Nomad Journals are the best around.

2. Stupid Foreigner Tricks ? Locals sometimes like to have a joke at your expense. It usually has to do with food. Don't eat strange stuff unless others are.

3. Packing for Europe ? If you are packing for Europe, pack light! Europe is not another planet. They have soap, books, clothes and so on. You can buy it there. Trust me!

4. Montezumas Revenge ? If you get diarrhea in a country, you need to focus on keeping hydrated. Try drinking one glass of carbonated water with a table spoon of sugar.

5. Russia, Friends and Vodka ? Russia is a great place to visit. The people are friendly and vodka drinking is very common. Have fun, but use your common sense. Some Russians are simply too friendly if you know what I mean.

6. Wrinkle Free Pants ? Always take a pair of wrinkle free pants. You can roll them up to save space. You will need them to enter churches, museums and other places.

7. Yelling at Thais ? Thailand is the land of smiles, but it doesn't mean everyone is happy. Culturally, raising your voice is a very bad move. Never yell at Thais. It will not help, but will hurt you.

8. Solo Travelers and Hostels ? If you are traveling by yourself, you may eventually need some social time with other travelers. Hostels are the place to get it.

9. Seeing Europe with Children ? If you are traveling to Europe and are taking kids, hotels and hostels can be a pain. Try renting a villa and exploring the area around it. They are much cheaper than you think.

10. Japanese Rice Etiquette ? When eating rice in Japan, never stick your chopsticks in the rice such that they are standing up vertical. It is a symbol of death.

Ultimately, we all find different things in our trips. Whatever your preference, you can only get it by jumping out there and going. Don't procrastinate, just go.
